The Lorax, Dr. Seuss

Mary Woodbury

November 12, 2014

In this classic kid’s tale, we meet the Lorax, who represents all the trees whose lives are threatened by the forces of industry. A gentler version of Miyazaki’s troubling, intense film Princess Mononoke, it’s one of the best-known environmental parables for children. It has proven controversial too, getting banned in some school districts in America for being “anti-logging industry.”

-Mona Caron, io9

"Unless someone like you... cares a whole awful lot... nothing is going to get better... It's not."

Long before saving the earth became a global concern, Dr. Seuss, speaking through his character the Lorax, warned against mindless progress and the danger it posed to the earth's natural beauty.

His classic cautionary tale is now available in an irresistible mini-edition, perfect for backpack or briefcase, for Arbor Day, Earth Day, and every day.
